Later Stage Dementia Care course

 Good morning everyone,

 

You might have heard about the Later Stage Dementia Care course we are running very soon.

 

We are now recruiting family carers for this course and wonder if you might know of anyone who might be interested and would benefit from this course?

 

I have attached the FAQ's.

 

In summary- 

This course is for family members who are providing care to another relation or family member with dementia. The person with dementia may have had the disease for some time and the family member may be considering options or require more information about later stage / end of life care

The course is FREE to attend

The course lasts 8 weeks and will be delivered fully online via The Alzheimer Society of Ireland’s Moodle Workplace Learning Management System

We hope to run two courses with approximately 20 people in each course

The courses will start in early December and finish in early February 2021, with a break for Christmas.

This course is likely to be emotional as it deals with very sensitive topics

Course participants are invited to actively share experiences and ideas related to course topics

Although technical support is provided, it is expected that participants should be comfortable using the internet and IT equipment.

 

You will find more information on our webpage and the link to the electronic application form is there also.

Both courses start next week (on Friday & Saturday) and so we are eager to spread the word this week.
